Investigation at Trafalgar
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE Institute of Chartered Accountants has launched a wide-ranging investigation of all those involved in preparing the accounts of Trafalgar House, including the conglomerate's auditors, Touche Ross, and four main board directors. Trafalgar was forced to restate its profit figures for last year after a formal censure by the Financial Reporting Review Panel, the watchdog authority for company accounts.
Trafalgar, presently in the middle of a controversial pounds 211m rights issue, faces a rough ride from shareholders at a meeting to approve the cash call in London tomorrow. Some investors believe they have been misled over the company's true financial position and are expected to demand the resignation of the auditors and main board directors.
